First party or third party there is always trust. You don’t know that the “first party” custodians have your coins. You don’t know if their security model is any better than a cold card in someone’s basement. You don’t know the security budget allocated to that. A startup will not have the same level of budget allocated to security as a qualified custodian. We use a framework of qualified custody including on chain observability, state regulation, soc2 audited, etc. We assess the risks of the various models here:
